By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense.
Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.

Is Nate Silver a Witch?
As of press time, Nate Silver is probably a witch.
The RSS feed for Nate Silver’s blog is part of the footer on this page. I started following his analysis during the Obama/Hillary primary races. Also a shout out to electoral-vote.com which I have followed since 2004 (Bush/Kerry which they also called) and who I let have a little widget on this site during this election. They both called another election very well. 2016 will feature open primaries for both parties. Bookmark both pages and make money betting your friends in 2016!
